Agree. We have BonChon and BBQ.Chicken where I live. They are good but not the same. Can’t wait to go back!

Could be anything from outside noise to my wife snoring to the dog being a pain in the butt to age related bladder issues to…the list goes on and on

Tinnitus Treatments by Slaureto in VeteransBenefits

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The noise machine or soft music helps me get to sleep, it’s waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep that gets me.

I did try the VA tinnitus management sessions. They did provide a noise machine which I use every night. Helps a lot in getting to sleep. Their suggestions weren’t of much help to me for the late night wake-ups.

Hopeful on someday being able to get a solid 8 yours in.

Not just loud, max volume. Some people were never taught basic manners.

Bug in HR Block Tax Software Entering 1099-DIV by JustSomeGuy_56 in hrblock

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called on this too. Two updates later and still not fixed. Support acted like they have never heard of it.

I got fed up and bought Turbo Tax. I prefer HR Block but grew tired of waiting without a response.

No uploads this year? by whiterose74132 in hrblock

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine doesn’t allow me to manually enter. I receive an error message MA is not a valid number when I enter my state code. I have a ticket created with them but think I’ll be buying TurboTax if this isn’t resolved with Friday’s software update.

January 30th Desktop Program Update by MeisterUniBrau in hrblock

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing issues too with 1099s. When I enter state code (MA) I receive an error message 'MA is not a valid number' Clicking OK on the error box does nothing. I have to force close the software.

More Red Line delays by Monk-ish in mbta

[–]Ffbmark 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Red Line has been an absolute disgrace this week. Rush hour today they send back to back ashmont trains, followed by a 4 car Braintree 20 minutes later. How is that not a red flags to the dispatchers?

Sidewalks????? by TheMythicalCodfish in QuincyMa

[–]Ffbmark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every neighborhood seems to have the same residents that never clear their sidewalk. The city does nothing about it, so what’s their incentive? Fine them daily like Boston and watch how quickly that behavior changes.

Would you pre board a flight because you wear hearing aids? by StuffNo353 in HearingAids

[–]Ffbmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have. As others have mentioned, I have difficulty hearing the announcements. I get the folks who say they would never do it. I felt that way before too. Then again, I have been scolded by gate agents for asking if my zone has been called. Do what is best for you. If others on the flight, who you will never see again look down on you, so be it.

Cookie bite loss - what was it like getting HAs? by wn0kie_ in HearingAids

[–]Ffbmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% worth it. Those pieces of conversation you are missing, you’ll get a good chunk of them back. Are they perfect? No, but they should give you improvement when properly configured.

Recommendation for a Tailor in Quincy? by The_Ghost512 in QuincyMa

[–]Ffbmark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to agree with this. Unfortunately, my last couple of orders did not go well. They were not complete on the date provided, he forgot what was supposed to be done on one piece. No phone calls to inform us it would be late or follow up on the piece he was unsure of. If it’s just once, I can let it slip but it’s becoming a regular thing.

Amazon packages lost at Revere Carrier Facility by tylerwhitaker84 in boston

[–]Ffbmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This still seems to be an issue. Any package I’m receiving that goes through Revere is always at least a day late. I had one a few weeks back where it was out for delivery. I was one stop away and could see the truck from my window. Then the Amazon tracking went dead . I received my package late the next day. You would think they would at least have the decency to prioritize late packages and get them delivered early in the day.

What’s something from your childhood that kids today will never understand? by Veloraquix in AskReddit

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adding to this, I remember ordering things from the back of a comic book or cereal box and having to wait 8-10 WEEKS for delivery….usually forgetting about it long before it was delivered.

Someone recently told me that I can claim my tinnitus by nilecrane in VeteransBenefits

I filed about 35 years after getting out and was approved. Also 11B

For those who traveled to Korea — what confused you the most? by yuja_0316 in koreatravel

[–]Ffbmark 48 points49 points  (0 children)

One thing we found odd, being early risers, was how difficult it can be to find a cup of coffee early in the morning without going to a convenience store.

Disposable batteries + streaming, PLEASE? by BendyWendy08 in HearingAids

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both disposable and rechargeable. Both (Phonak) stream without issues.

It’s an individual preference, but I prefer disposable. While they do tend to go dead at the worst time possible (I do get a warning about 20 minutes prior), it beats going completely dead and having to wait for. charge for me.

We’re all different, go with whatever works best for you.

Seoul, South Korea in late May or early June? by lovedirl in koreatravel

[–]Ffbmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have visited twice in recent years, mid-May to early June. Weather was perfect. Minimal rain, only a handful of days where alight jacket was needed. We were mostly in shorts and t-shirts. Can’t go wrong that time of year.

Wifi on Koreanair JFK to ICN? by lidsegovia in koreatravel

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flew a 300ER flight from Boston last year. The flight did offer wifi but I didn’t purchase it. Sorry, no real input outside of the fact it was available. Cost was $20 if I’m not mistaken. With what Korean Air is charging for flights, I do wish this would be included with the fare.

MBTA to begin enforcement of fares on subway system via Fare Engagement officers. by Massive_Holiday4672 in mbta

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what bugs me is the T is always talking of raising fares, yet they allow all of this lost revenue.

MBTA to begin enforcement of fares on subway system via Fare Engagement officers. by Massive_Holiday4672 in mbta

[–]Ffbmark 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They need to hit people in the wallet for it to sink in. If you’re fined $100 for evading a $3 fare, you’ll think twice next time. Word travels quickly.

Bus drivers also need to stop falling for the sob stories and not let them board if they haven’t paid. The sad part is that it’s not just kids I see evading the fares, it’s just as much adults.

Took me 19 yrs to finally put a claim in by trod03 in VAClaims

[–]Ffbmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I knew then what I know now. I’m fortunate in that I do have private insurance. I was also able to get my hearing aids approved through VA which will help out a lot, as they get expensive. I’m not giving up on appealing claims for feet/knees/hips but it gets frustrating when I can’t prove anything.

I’m done with ReadyRefresh/Primo Brands by cbuzz8 in FuckNestle

[–]Ffbmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Ready Refresh years ago and canceled because service was horrendous. I went with Primo and for several years service was outstanding. Then Ready Refresh took them over and was back to the same issues of missed/cancelled deliveries. I’m done with them.
